How to Portray Memory Loss with Music and Art

In this episode, I try and help the audience further understand Alzheimer's and dementia by having them experience it through the mediums of music and art. I analyze the self-portraits of William Utermohlen and the albums "Everywhere At The End Of Time" and help explain to the audience how the tone and overall structure of the music helps the listener feel as if their mind is withering away due to dementia. I believe this is an important topic to talk about since Alzheimer's is currently the 6th leading cause of death in the US, which means we will all come into contact with it sooner or later, whether we get Alzheimer's, or someone we know.

NOTE: In a section of this video, I trace a certain tune throughout the album, and I found a video published after this one that does a better job of tracking the tune, and the video even points out some details that I missed. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11GVvHQ6wAo
